Emerging infections and biothreats
Recent health events of communicable diseases around the world and the ease with which diseases can travel
from one country to another, underscore the need for healthcare facilities and systems to be ready to address
a variety of communicable disease emergencies. A robust communicable disease preparedness and response plan
that is flexible and scalable can serve as a foundation to bolster overall control, prevention and response and allow
institutions to adapt to changing situations that increase patient and staff safety. This presentation will discuss the
core elements in a response plan needed to respond to any infectious hazard using an all-hazards approach rooted
in the emergency management sphere.
